The plot of the 1986 Hollywood movie "Crossroads" concerns a teenage classical guitar student at New York's prestigious Juilliard School of Music. His personal obsession is the music of long-dead blues singer Robert Johnson and he has a notion that instead of the twenty-nine songs Johnson is known to have recorded, a thirtieth one exists; with the discovery of this missing song, he could make his own reputation by recording it. When the lad finds Willie Brown, a known associate of Johnson, to be a patient in a New York hospital, he befriends the old man and together they start on an unlikely odyssey to Mississippi to unearth the song (unsuccessfully) and to discover whether Johnson had made a pact with the Devil, at a crossroad, as legend would have it. Presented here are the twenty-nine songs, remastered using the wizardry of modern sound techniques to give the listener a lot more of Robert Johnson and a lot less of the poor recording techniques of his day, without in any way corrupting the actual music. The only liberty which has been taken has been to select the best take where an alternative exists and to compile the twenty-nine songs in a running order which provides a better listening experience than the strict discographical order allows.
